Apple’s iOS App Store is approaching its 25 billionth app download, the company announced today. In celebration of the milestone, they’ve announced a contest. The person who downloads the 25 billionth app will win a $10,000 gift card to the App Store.

If you don’t feel like downloading an app for your chance to win, never fear. Apple’s contest page includes a link to an official entry form, where you can enter the contest “without purchase or download.” Of course, there is a bit of a catch. You can’t just fill out a form today and maybe win tomorrow (or in a week, or a month, or whenever that big counter finally clicks over to 25 billion). According to the official rules, a winning entry form must be submitted immediately following the download of the 24,999,999,999th app.

What would you do with $10,000 in App Store credit? Let us know in the comments.
